of this state expressly or impliedly grant or allow cities . . .” As such, the <br />City Council possesses the legislative power to enact any ordinance that is <br />not prohibited by the United States Constitution or federal laws, or by the <br />Oregon Constitution or state statutes. Neither the constitution or statutes <br />prohibit a city from adopting a vision document that looks beyond its <br />jurisdiction in an effort to address future park and recreational needs. <br /> <br /> <br />9.Charles Biggs testimony (December 12 and 30, 2005) states the following <br /> <br />concerns with the PROS Plan: <br />a)The Project list should be included in the PROS Plan. <br /> <br />b)103+ policies of the 1989 Parks and Recreation plan should be retained <br /> <br />and expanded, in the PROS plan. <br />c)Objection to the proposed Striker Field project. <br /> <br /> <br />Staff Response: <br />a)The PROS Project and Priority Plan is available on the City’s website. It is <br /> <br />proposed for adoption by Council Resolution. Although a public hearing <br />is not legally required for this process, one will be held and is currently <br />scheduled for March 13, 2006. Once the separate adoption processes are <br />complete, the PROS Project and Priority Plan will be attached to the PROS <br />Comprehensive Plan document as an appendix. <br /> <br />b)The PROS Plan uses the term strategies instead of policies. The PROS <br /> <br />Plan Strategies contain most, if not all of the same general content as the <br />“policies” in the 1989 Plan. Strategies is a more appropriate term because <br />of their aspirational nature. The same was true for the 1989 “policies” <br />which have no practical effect on subdivision, partitions or site review <br />applications. Chapter 9 regulations serve as the implementation of parks <br />related requirements. <br /> <br />c)Specific projects can be discussed within the context of the Project and <br /> <br />Priority Plan. <br /> <br /> <br />10.Charles Moss testimony (December 12, 2005) states the following comments: <br /> <br />a)Actions are not listed in the November 2005 Draft PROS Plan although <br /> <br />funding options are. He would like to know what projects the money will <br />be spent on. <br />b)The Santa Clara school and site should be preserved to meet the goal of <br /> <br />community identity. <br />Attachment B January 18, 2006 Page 10 <br /> <br />
